Only UMNO can protect Malay rights - Najib: Kita dengar ucapan azimat di pembukaan PAU 2010 pada 21/10/2010 dan pada 23/10/2010 YAB PM telah memberikan kita satu lagi kata-kata keramat yang harus kita pakai untuk mentransformasikan agenda politik Keris di peringkat kepimpinan nasional, negeri, bahagian dan cawangan dengan berpaksikan 7 kriteria yang harus di perhalusi dan di praktikkan apabila kembali ke kawasan-kawasan masing demi agama, bangsa dan negara. Kita kena ingat bahawa segala yang kita dapati dan rezeki yang limpah ruah ini adalah hasil dan perjuangan Keris yang membolehkan kita merasai kenikmatan dan kekayaan tersebut. Ini bukan bermakna kita harus menyokong Keris tetapi setidak-tidak melihat bahawa Keris telah dan memang layak di panggil pencetus transformasi rakyat Melayu dan bumiputra di Malaysia. Kemudiannya ianya harus di cerminkan dengan penilaian dan pemikiran kita yang kreatif untuk menterjemahkannya di dalam bentuk satu rakyat satu undi kepada parti-parti yang rakyat rasa berhak untuk mendapat undi mereka. YAB PM dan TPM juga akan meninjau ke seluruh pelusuk tanahair itu melihat sendiri akan perkara-perkara yang telah di bincangkan dan di wacanakan semasa PAU 2010 bagi menjamin akar umbi Keris faham dan menjalankan gerak kerja bagi membolehkan YAB PM membubarkan Parlimen untuk PRU 13. Mari kita gembelengkan tenaga dan buah fikiran demi kelangsungan agama, bangsa dan negara Malaysia, Kita harus banyak gerakkan aktiviti yang berkaitan baik di Cawangan mahupun di Bahagian contohnya Temasya Sukan Juara Rakyat. Pertanding Memasak Juara Rakyat. Karnival Juara Rakyat . Pertandingan Memancing Juara Rakyat dan berbagai Sukan dan Riadah Juara Rakyat boleh di gerakkan. Jangan kita jadi seperti beruang apabila pergi PAU 2010 semangat berkobar-kobar kerana nak glamour kononnya kita kenal pemimpin itu dan ini tetapi apabila balik kita masuk dalam gua untuk bertapa biarkan cawangan dan bahagian tidak bergerak tetapi apabila kerajaan mengeluarkan tender dan projek hendak kaut semua kerana kita adalah pemimpin Keris. Adakah ini pemimpin yang diingni oleh pucuk kepimpinan Keris. Ubah diri musabah diri dan transformasikan diri baru kita boleh transformasikan ahli-ahli kita dan seterusnya rakyat. Ini kita tak nak ubah dan terus nak bergantungan dengan kuasa dan mengejar kekayaan macam mana ahli-ahli nak berubah sedangkan kepala tak berubah jangan harap badan dan ekor nak berubah. Inilah masalah yang sedang di hadapi oleh Keris. Kita harap pemimpin-pemimpin Keris kena jadi Transformers kalau tidak Decepticon akan ambil alih Putrajaya masa itu tiada agama, bangsa dan negara tetapi hanya ada Malaysia Malaysian sahaja.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 – Datuk Seri Najib Razak declared today that political power must remain in Umno’s hands to protect the special position of Malays.

He also promised his administration would not roll back affirmative action policies to protect Malay interests.

In winding up his party’s annual meeting, the Umno president (picture) attacked political rivals for twisting his words in arguing against his party’s relevance to protect constitutional provisions on Malay rights.

“The other side is very good at twisting my words. He said if the rights are guaranteed, then there is no need for Umno to remain in power,” said Najib in his winding up speech at the Umno assembly here.

“This is definitely not true, because political power must remain in Umno’s hands for us to translate the principles and the spirit of the constitutional position,” he told the 2,500 party delegates gathered here today.

Najib had said that the special position of the Malays was part of the social contract agreed before independence in exchange for citizenship for the non-Malays.

He had also pointed out that the position of Malays was enshrined in the Federal Constitution and could not be easily amended without the consent of the Conference of Rulers.

Today Najib also said that he has been consistent on the issue of special Malay position, adding that he had delivered the same message at the MCA assembly two weeks ago.

“During the MCA assembly, which I officiated, I was surrounded by MCA leaders but what did I say? I said in any country it would be unfair for the majority to have only a small control of the economy,” said Najib to loud cheers from the delegates.

He assured the party that he would not backtrack from the principles of the pro-Bumiputera New Economic Policy (NEP) introduced during the administration of his father Tun Razak Hussein, the second prime minister.

“Who started the NEP? As the son I will ensure the spirit and principle of the struggle continues,” said Najib.

The prime minister also revealed that the government has formed a supreme council committee on the Bumiputera agenda chaired by him to protect the interest of the community.

The formation of the committee was suggested by the party’s delegates when debating the motion on the economy.

“In fact the supreme council on Bumiputera agenda has been formed. The first meeting was held last month,” Najib told the assembly.

“I am the chairman with deputy prime minister as the deputy and selected ministers as members of the council,” he said adding that the three Umno vice-presidents Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Datuk Shafie Apdal are also members of the council.
